About Cura

Saint Louis University is committed to being a caring community. That goal is represented by the name of a new initiative, Cura, which is Latin for "care." It holds us all to the highest ethical and professional standards.

Each of us has a responsibility to foster a culture of understanding, respect and appreciation for the people with whom we work and interact, and to inspire a collaborative and collegial working, learning and social environment.

In order to protect the health and well-being of our workplace and community, we commit to the following Cura standards:

Treating each other with dignity, compassion and respect

Treating all colleagues as equally important team members, regardless of job, role or title

Appreciating and understanding the culture, humanity and differences of others

Building trust through open, honest communication, reliability and integrity

Learn... Share... Grow... Get Support

The Cura program is a response to the SLU community's stated desire to build and sustain a positive workplace culture.
